I agree. I am not sure wether there is a case where you need to include the "|" in the special string, but if that is needed it is still possible to switch the borders of. > As for lcr(pmb), I suppose that has to stay as it is: the latex string > is expected to provide the alignment char if it (the string) is non- > empty.
